Mini USB Remote Canon DSLR Video Controller

There's about a dozen USB remotes sold as a USB Follow Focus System, but this particular one lacks lens focus controls and just throws in some basic functions. This one was designed to mount close to your rig handle so that you can access common settings like ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed, Zoom Focus, Start / Stop Video Mode, etc.

Don't be confused by some of the listings, it's obvious they don't know what they are talking about and list it to be a follow focus controller (wrong!). This looks like the Okii MC1 controller, except it's about $100 dollars less. I like this particular handle design over those ugly round Canon USB Follow focuses but i'm still not sold on paying so much for this type of remote. You can find additional info about these Canon USB Video Remotes on eBay following the link (click here).

This mini USB remote is designed to control only the basic functions of the canon DSLR and is situated in a convenient spot. Although I do agree with you on this because I'm not sold out on it because I'm still expecting for a better wireless version of it in the near future. Thanks for the short review on the little accessory.

@Andrew Wood - Canon makes software that you install on a computer and connect your camera via USB. You can then control all of these options through the computer software. These items use the same USB controls in a hardware interface.
